Methodology

The gross domestic product (GDP) per capita figures on this page are derived from PPP calculations. Such calculations are prepared by various organizations, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. As estimates and assumptions have to be made, the results produced by different organizations for the same country are not hard facts and tend to differ, sometimes substantially, so they should be used with caution.

Several economies which are not considered to be sovereign states (i.e. the world and dependent territories) are included in the list because they appear in the sources. These economies are not ranked in the following tables, but are listed in sequence for comparison. Non-sovereign entities, former countries or other special groupings are marked in italics.
